If you walk a distance of 8 blocks and then 3 blocks south from home, what is your position compared to home? What distance did

you walk?

Harman [31]2 years ago

The position compared to that of home is a reference to displacement, I believe.

Displacement = x total - x initial

So I believe the answer is 5 blocks due north (if you’re walking linearly from your home), unless the questions is referring to relative displacement, in which then you’d need to use the Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse between both positions. And then you’d have to find theta for the degrees between the south direction and the other unmentioned direction. But I don’t think that’s the case.

Distance refers to x total and doesn’t care for direction, as this refers to a scalar quantity opposed to a vector. Thus the equation is just

d = x

So 8 blocks + 3 blocks = a distance of eleven blocks walked total

How many board feet of lumber are needed assuming 200 lin. Ft. of 2""x 6"" lumber a. 12 b. 16.67 c. 120 d. 200
Svetach [21]

Answer:

B) 16.67

Explanation:

If the dimension of one lumber is 2" × 6", the total area of one lumber will be 12inch²

If the total board feet of lumber there is 200in, therefore the total board of lumber that will be needed is 200/12 which gives 16.67 lumbers

Considering the various theories, the energy used in forming organic molecules in the primitive atmosphere could have come from
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

<h2>e. sound. </h2>

Explanation:

  • Such type of atmosphere in which oxygen was not present or was present in little amount is known as the primitive atmosphere and such type of atmosphere was present in the initial stage of the earth formation.
  • During this period, water vapor, nitrogen, hydrogen and carbon dioxide gases were present.
  • These gases interact with the help of energy that comes from many sources such as lightning, ultraviolet radiation, electric spark and some other.
  • When these inorganic molecules react in the then the formation of organic compounds takes place that becomes the basis of the organization of the life on the earth and called an organic evolution of life.

A cassette recorder uses a plug-in transformer to convert 120 V to 12.0 V, with a maximum current output of 200 mA. What is the
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

20 mA

Explanation:

We have given that the transformer convert 120 V to 12 V means it is a step down transformer

The turn ratio of the transformer is given as a=\frac{N_1}{N_2}=\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{120}{12}=10 here V_! is primary voltage and V_2 is secondary voltage

As the voltage decreases from primary to secondary so current will increase from primary to secondary

We have given output current that is secondary current so primary that is input current will be less

So input current =\frac{200}{10}=20mA
